Volgograd reservoir

Volgograd reservoir formed the dam of the Volga HPP. One of the largest reservoirs of the Volga-Kama basin is located on the territory of two such regions as Saratov and Volgograd.

It is the Volgograd reservoir that is the last on the Volga River downstream before flowing into the waters of the Caspian Sea. The average year-round water level is only ten meters.

The main part of the reservoir, located on the territory of the plain from Saratov to Volgograd, a fifteen-kilometer strip divides the hilly areas of the Volga hills.

The surroundings of the reservoir today were chosen by numerous moose, noble deer and European deer, wild boars, and various feathered inhabitants, including geese, black-footed loon, quail and tern.
